"Cuss it," Sansa uttered inside the lavish powder room. After a lot of consideration, she finally decided to dispatch her top a.s.sa.s.sin, Codename Flower Thief, to take care of the urgency that she felt breathing down her neck. Having reached a decision Sansa made a grimoire call,

[Calling Grey Wolf…]

"Grey Wolf reporting, your highness." Grey Wolf who was deep in the way beyond executing a priority task 'Blessed Spring' immediately answered the grimoire call after reading the name of the caller.

"Abort the current mission. Return to the southern border and be on standby for the coordinates for the new mission," Sansa did not waste any time and directly gave Grey Wolf his new orders.

"Yes, your highness," Grey Wolf complied immediately and then added, "Madam, what about the current mission? If we miss this window we will not get another chance until next year."

"I know stealing the blessed spring takes priority but your unfinished job down south takes more priority. There is a p.a.w.n in the field who will soon be contacting you with the mission coordinates and to update you about the mission. This p.a.w.n has outlived his value, dispose of him after the compilation of the mission. And remember, I want the priority task s...o...b..cleared, this time failure will not be tolerated," Sansa replied making it clear to Grey Wolf that she had no choice but to abort the priority task 'Blessed Spring.'

The reason Sansa had to weigh her priorities was that the Blessed Spring only appeared once a year in the depths of the way beyond. The water from the blessed Spring has high demand in the market as they were an S-rank ingredient used in the creation of the Soul energy refining pill, as the name suggests these pills help card king and higher realm card apprentice refine their soul energy. This ingredient has a demand among the high-ranking card apprentice because in the higher realm practicing active soul control further requires pure soul energy. The high purity of soul energy will greatly affect the speed of the card apprentices practicing their active soul control. Therefore as an organization filled with card kings, emperors, and semi-demiG.o.ds, the Matron's paw clan needed to stock up their supply of blessed water from the blessed spring. Thanks to Flower thief's origin card stocking up on blessed water had become a lot easier but now Matron had to give up on it because she felt that finis.h.i.+ng the priority task 's...o...b.. took priority over the priority task 'Blessed Spring.'

"Your highness, thank you for giving us another opportunity to rectify our mistakes," Grey Wolf had no choice but to thank Sansa humbly. He has been looking forward to raiding the blessed spring with the help of Flower thief's ability but the situation has changed. And as the slave of his master he had no choice but to go with the flow.

Grey Wolf knew the only reason he and his squad survived the wrath of the Matron despite their failure to kill the priority target s...o...b..was because of the presence of the Codename Flower Thief, if not for Flower Thief's sense of belonging to their squad, Matron would have disposed of Grey Wolf and his squad despite their merit so far. After all, creating a new squad from scratch to calm Flower Thief's nerves would be a ha.s.sle.

"Good, I am busy now. I will contact you again after resolving the situation here," Hanging up the grimoire call, Sansa walked out of the fancy power room and headed toward the main dining hall where her demiG.o.d husband was entertaining a guest. The powder room was the only place inside and around the mansion where she can expect her husband not to spread his divine sense giving her the privacy she required to conduct her business as the Matron.

Walking down the hall Sansa entered a grand dining hall, in the middle of it was a large lavish dinner table with a generous spread. The table was occupied by two men, one young and a middle-aged. The young male had a divine air surrounding him, he appeared to be the main attraction of the room despite all the luxurious decoration in the hall. As for the middle-aged man, he looked like all the troubles of the world were weighing on his shoulders.

The young man was non-other than demiG.o.d Baylor, watching his Wife enter the dining hall, he let out an elegant smile in response to it a gentle smile blossomed on Sansa's face. Then demiG.o.d Baylor turned to face the middle-aged man and said, "Now that Sansa is here let me get straight to point of this brunch, uncle."

Sansa who was lost in the elegance of her husband's smile came back to reality when she heard her husband address the middle-aged man as uncle. The middle-aged man was non-other than her late friend's father. She did not like the fact that her husband was still in touch with this man and adding to that he addressed him as uncle but she could only let go of her anger and be happy that her husband had finally stopped calling this middle-aged man Father-in-law. Loosening her clenched fist Sansa greeted the middle-aged man with a gentle smile, "Uncle, it has been quite a will since you last visited here, did you perhaps forget about this daughter of yours?"

"No, no, how could I? I have been busy attending to family affairs," The middle-aged man humbly answered.

Looking at beautiful Sansa, Kelvin Duskborn couldn't help but reminisce about his lovely daughter. Sansa and his daughter were best of friends, they were so close that Sansa would sometimes address Kelvin as father and he would treat her as his second daughter. But after the incident with his daughter, Kelvin purposefully avoided contact with Sansa because she reminded him of the life his daughter missed out on. He wasn't angry at Sansa but only sad for his daughter.

"Uncle, I am sorry about Ellen. I heard what happened," Sansa gave her condolence to the kelvin, more like rubbing salt on his wounds.
